Składnia imiesłowów przysłówkowych uprzednich w Pamiętnikach Jana Chryzostoma Paska i w tłumaczeniu Pamiętników przez Zenona Gołaszewskiego
No full textThe article is devoted to the syntax of the perfect adverbial participle in Pamiętniki (Memoirs) of Jan Chryzostom Pasek and its place in the modern Polish language. An attempt has been made to make a comparative analysis of the mentioned Old Polish work with its translation into modern Polish by Zenon Gołaszewski. With the help of a modern grammatical approach, the syntactic use of the perfect adverbial participle by Pasek was classified. In addition, the article describes what equivalents Gołaszewski used in place of these forms when he decided to make a substitution and why. The objective was to see if Pasek’s archaic use of the perfect adverbial participle can hinder the reading and reception of his work. The rather unambiguous conclusions of this analysis may be a prevailing argument in the contemporary debate on the validity of producing translations of Old Polish works into modern Polish and revising views on the reading list.The article is devoted to the syntax of the perfect adverbial participle in Pamiętniki (Memoirs) of Jan Chryzostom Pasek and its place in the modern Polish language.

Leksykalne środki wartościujące i ich tekstowo-podmiotowe uwarunkowania w dyskursie wspomnieniowym powstańców warszawskich (na wybranych przykładach z Archiwum Historii Mówionej Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego)
No full textThe subject of the article is the description of selected lexical determinants of evaluation and the determination of these elements’ significance in the memoir discourse of the Warsaw insurgents, more precisely: in statements regarding the meaning of the uprising’s outbreak. The evaluative lexis has also been considered in view of textual mechanisms and with reference to the evaluative subject. The research material consists of approximately 3,400 transcripts of interviews from the Oral History Archive of the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Additionally, the desire to broaden the thought on oral history texts to date with a linguistic perspective prompted the authors to use the assumptions and findings of memory linguistics, axiolinguistics and corpus linguistics in their considerations. Analyses of the indicated problem (both quantitative and qualitative ones) allow for drawing the following final conclusions: the lexical determinants of evaluation richly represented in autobiographical narratives and the textual and subjective references thereof are subordinate to the persuasive function manifested in the public debate in the context of the dispute about the sense of the uprising; they also prove the polarization of the opinions of the insurgents multifacetedly evaluating the events of 1944, either positively or negatively, and sometimes taking military action despite their personal opinion.The subject of the article is the description of selected lexical determinants of evaluation and the determination of these elements’ significance in the memoir discourse of the Warsaw insurgents, more precisely: in statements regarding the meaning of the uprising’s outbreak.

Słowniki w słownikach – rozważania leksykograficzne: dykcjonarz i wokabularz
No full textThe article is a continuation of research addressing the issue of the dictionary history of names of lexicographic collections. The considerations concern two lexemes: dykcjonarz and wokabularz. The analyses are presented against the background of the history of the most popular contemporary term: słownik (‘dictionary’). Both lexemes presented in the article are older than słownik. The name dykcjonarz has been used in Polish since the 16th century, while wokabularz is attested from the beginning of the 17th century. Both lexemes come from Latin, but dykcjonarz came into Polish through the mediation of French. The authors of a specialist publication on lexicography refer both entries to the old Polish lexicography of the period from the 16th to the 18th century. General dictionaries usually treat both names as words with a chronological meaning: old, obsolete, archaic or historical. The lexicographic history of both words shows the stability of their meaning. Exceptionally, dictionaries mark the nuances of meaning of the entry dykcjonarz and indicate additional meanings of wokabularz, both of which, however, belong to old or specialist lexis.The article is a continuation of research addressing the issue of the dictionary history of names of lexicographic collections.

Wskaźnik określeń werbalnych w stylistycznej charakterystyce współczesnych reportaży (na tle porównawczym)
No full textThe verbal definitions index, along with other indicators such as the nominalism index, epithetization index, quantitative richness of vocabulary and repetition of vocabulary, is a useful parameter in the stylistic characterization of the text. It is calculated by dividing the sum of adverb uses by the sum of verb uses ( ). It determines how many adverbs there are for one verb. The aim of the proposed article is to determine the index of verbal terms for contemporary Polish reportage against a comparative background of twenty-three different types of texts, based on calculations contained in the linguistic works of I. Kamińska-Szmaj, W. Pisarek, M. Rachwałowa, M. Zarębina. In order to do this, a three-stage methodology was used, including: corpus, quantitative and comparative analyses. The corpus of texts representative of contemporary Polish reportage is a selection of eighteen reportage novels awarded with the Beata Pawlak Award. The analysis carried out showed quite high homogeneity of the examined reportages in terms of the analyzed feature – the extreme values differ only by 0.17, and the deviations from the calculated average (Ww = 0.31) do not exceed 0.10 in any of the reportages.The verbal definitions index, along with other indicators such as the nominalism index, epithetization index, quantitative richness of vocabulary and repetition of vocabulary, is a useful parameter in the stylistic characterization of the text.

Zapowiedź repertuarowa – analiza gatunku na podstawie tekstów ze stron internetowych teatrów dramatycznych i muzycznych
No full textThe article constitutes an attempt at a genological analysis of repertoire previews. The research material comes from the websites of dramatic and musical theatres. The methodological foundation of the study is based on findings from linguistic genre studies. The introductory section provides a description of the theatrical teaser as a media genre blending elements of informational and promotional content. Its primary purpose is to capture the audience’s attention, spark their interest and prompt action – in this case, purchasing tickets for the upcoming performance. The structural framework of the analysis is based on the composition of the examined texts. Key components include: framing elements (such as the title, list of artists involved in the production and photographs), a synopsis of the upcoming performance, a description of the historical background, an overview of the creators’ achievements, quotations from their statements and carefully-selected review excerpts. The analysis is centred on the structure of the texts, with individual segments constituting the theatre teaser also examined from pragmatic, stylistic and rhetorical perspectives. The marketing objective behind theatre announcements leads their creators to produce messages full of paradoxes, balancing between informing, intriguing and persuading, between a fixed form and originality of expression. These announcements draw on traditional models (closely resembling journalistic teasers), while simultaneously exploiting the potential of the new medium.The article constitutes an attempt at a genological analysis of repertoire previews.

O stylotwórczej funkcji formacji rzeczownikowych z przyrostkiem -ość w Psałterzu Dawidowym Mikołaja Reja (1543)
No full textThe aim of the analyses presented in this article is to determine the stylistic conditions associated with the distribution of noun formations with the suffix -ość in Mikołaj Rej’s Psałterz Dawidów (David’s Psalter) from 1543. The conducted observations reveal that Rej employed such abstract nouns to shape the stylistic and linguistic layer of his prose translation. In line with general 16th-century tendencies, Rej used these formations not only as means of artistic expression, but also to construct the semantic level of the Psalter’s text. This included avoiding concrete expressions in favor of general, timeless, and universal terms – an approach that softened the harshness of the psalmist’s realist narrative. He further utilized nomina essendi as markers of hyperbole and superlative expression, aiming to evoke emotional responses and enhance the expressiveness of the utterance. These derivatives also served a rhythmic function in the prose paraphrase, imitating external features of Hebrew poetry. This latter function is particularly noticeable: the translator not only grouped morphologically similar nouns in close proximity but also paid attention to their syntactic placement to maximize the text’s sound qualities. These auditory effects were further reinforced by the inflectional endings shared by the analyzed derivatives. Rej’s individual preferences regarding noun formations demonstrate his refined stylistic sensitivity, presenting him as an artist who consciously shaped the stylistic dimension of the translated text by skillfully exploiting the derivational and even inflectional potential (e.g., his fondness for plural forms of abstract nouns) of 16th-century Polish.The aim of the analyses presented in this article is to determine the stylistic conditions associated with the distribution of noun formations with the suffix -ość in Mikołaj Rej’s Psałterz Dawidów (David’s Psalter) from 1543.

Źwierzę w Kronice, to jest historyi świata Marcina Bielskiego (1564)
No full textThe aim of the article is to show how the lexeme źwierzę (animal) functions in the first Polish-language history of the world, published for the third time in 1564 and edited by Marcin Bielski, entitled Kronika, to jest historyja świata (The Chronicle, That Is the History of the World). The analysis shows that the word źwierzę and its derivatives appear in the Kronika when naming fauna that both actually existed and was legendary; they are used by Bielski as generalizing names (hyperonyms) and individual names; their inflectional forms reflect the norm of the time. It is necessary to emphasize the relationship between the human and animal worlds that emerges from the presented remarks, indicating a partial departure from anthropomorphism, and the fact that the meaning of the word źwierzę and its derivatives is limited primarily to mammals, which in turn is consistent with the linguistic image of animals characteristic of general Polish and is still in use today
